Classifying Material List Components 

On the Material list screen, you can classify the individual material components in your material list.

Classifying the individual components has two purposes:

  1. Material quantity calculation:

    2. When you classify a component in the material list, you use the class type 022 (or 23, depending on the batch level) for batch classification. From a logical point of view, you would assign the same class to this component as you have assigned in the material or batch master.

    You can now assign values to the characteristics of this class. The system uses these values for the purposes of material quantity calculation in the calculation sheet.

  2. Batch determination

You can classify a component that is subject to handling in batches for the purposes of batch determination. Use the same class you use for the material for the component. You can also split batches in process orders.

For more information, see the R/3 Library LO - Batch Management under Batch Determination.

Matchcode Selection

You can also select the batch number via a matchcode selection directly in the Batch field. In this case, you can select by batch class.

The Classification screen of the process order appears. If you wish, you can assign a further value to your class. If you choose Find object, the system displays the batches that match your criteria. You can then select the desired batch and return to the Material list screen, where your batch number is now entered.

 

If you need to select more than one batch, you must enter the component a corresponding number of times in the material list. For each entry, you need to enter a separate batch number from the list of available batches.
